35 Years of Palliative Care Progress: What Lies Ahead for Society Engagement?
Context
While modern palliative care began over 50 years ago, its formal recognition by the WHO in 1990 marked a turning point. Since then, palliative care has evolved from a niche service for terminal cancer patients to a global health priority integrated into universal health coverage. Despite notable progress, serious suffering related to health conditions continues to rise, especially in low- and middle-income countries, calling for renewed ethical and strategic commitment.
Objectives
To critically review the historical trajectory of palliative care development, compare global frameworks, highlight regional disparities, and propose forward-looking strategies for evaluation and implementation.
Methods
This special article presents a narrative synthesis of key policy milestones, conceptual transitions, and global indicators in the development of palliative care. It contrasts two WHO-endorsed public health models: the 2007 “Umbrella” strategy and the 2021 “House” framework, analysing their complementarities and global relevance.
Results
Major shifts include broader definitions of palliative care, increased governmental engagement, expanded outcome measures, and stronger emphasis on equity and community involvement. Despite these advances, access remains deeply unequal across and within world regions. Recent initiatives, such as the WHO indicator framework and global commissions, provide renewed tools and ethical imperatives for progress.
Conclusion
The future of global palliative care depends on political will, fair allocation of resources, robust monitoring, and meaningful community participation. A renewed public health approach, grounded in compassion, human rights, and local empowerment, is essential to address the projected increase in health-related suffering by 2060 and to ensure that no one is left behind.
Implications for Practice
This article supports clinicians, policymakers, and researchers in aligning their practices with emerging global standards, ethical mandates, and community-based innovations to ensure that no one is left behind.
